Actually, I came in 3rd in my age group in a race. By definition, I came in 3rd because the faster people stayed home.

Interestingly, had I run the half instead of the full, I would have won my age group and perhaps placed in top 5 overall.

And no, it's not like I'm one of those people who can talk about their halves in terms of minutes and sound not-silly (such as: "I ran a 68 minute half", which I totally cannot). Truly, the fast(er) people stayed home.

6 months straight with over 100 miles. Have not done that inat least 5 years.

Run until the trail runs out.

The pain that hurts the worse is the imagined pain. One of the most difficult arts of racing is learning to ignore the imagined pain and just live with the present pain (which is always bearable.) - Jeff

pr by over 2 minutes? fantastic!! great job putting in those boring, methodical miles, they paid off. Do you mix up your courses much? do you mix in some fun trail runs to break up the daily boring runs??
